Potpourri [4]

An overview of recent images that would have ended up in my parallel blog Art's Potpourri (now stopped). Clicking the icons in the left side of the table takes you to the picture on the site where I found it in a new window. The text includes a link to the site.

Best. Pond name. Ever. Forget the ship Boaty McBoatface - this pond received the best name that could have come up through the internet (Just for Fun). First seen here.

Brilliantly lazy or lazily brilliant? Dave asked a poster designer by mobile for a poster displaying the timing of the music performances. He did not quite expect the result (Just for Fun). First seen here.

Ink in motion. The idea is not new, but the execution very impressive. Macro Room created videos and photographs of ink in water, adding some 3D effects with plants etc (Remarkable Art). First seen here.

LV Painting bags. The famous fashion house Louis Vuitton has introduced a new line of bags, all based on classical paintings, from da Vinci to van Gogh (Special Designs). First seen here.

We'll always have Aaris. Taken from a post with many more examples of designs by people who should have known better (Mixed Nuts). Recommended to click the link. First seen here.

Aurora Borealis. The link collects some of the most beautiful photographs of that stunning natural phenomenon, the Aurora Borealis or Northern Lights (Natural Beauty). First seen here.

Wordless movie posters. That's wordless, not worthless. The link collects a large number of famous movie posters with all text removed to show their beauty even better (Amazing Stuff). First seen here.

Starry starry cappuccino. Add Korean barista Kangbin Lee to the growing ranks of people who think coffee is a canvas for them to be creative on (Amazing Stuff). First seen here.

The Blogger

About me:Dutchman, married to a beautiful and highly talented artist from Shanghai. Although my education (PhD chemistry) is very much associated with the left side of the brain, I like to use my right side for my hobbies: music, art, photography.

About this blog:I started this blog in August 2006, just wanting to share what I considered interesting pieces of visual art and music. I suffered from blogging blues for most of 2008, but making a fresh start in October of that year has done wonders for my inspiration.In case you did not notice, most posts end with a small symbol... just click that for the relevant link.All pictures in my blog are hosted on blogger - if some do not show up (the red cross syndrome) it is a blogger hiccup. Right click and selecting "show picture" should do the trick.

About the reconstruction:

End March 2017 I converted thousands of posts to draft, in order to sort out potential copyright issues. Many of these will be restored in the course of the year.
